Bungalow


The holiday home has recently been completely renovated and is suitable for 2 to max 10 people.
The house consists of 2 floors which can be rented separately.
Both floors have 2 bedrooms and a kitchen.
The ground floor has 1 shower / toilet facility and the upper floor has 2 shower and toilets.

There is a bedroom with a double bed and a bedroom with 2 single beds.
There is a wall of 1.8 meters high around the entire plot so that privacy is guaranteed.
There is a beautiful garden with coconut palms, mango trees and other tropical flowers and plants.
From Talpe there are many possibilities for making trips to the herb gardens, turtles, whale watching, diving and snorkeling, tea plantations, wood carving factories, etc.

The location of the house is between Unawatuna and Habaraduwa and located on the land side.

When we arrive at the airport our friend is waiting with his van and then we go from the airport to Colombo and then you go in 2 ways to the south of the island where our house is located.
Option 1 is that we drive along the coast past the beautiful tourist towns, Bentota, Hikkaduwa, Galle and then towards Unawatuna and then to the house which is located in Talpe.

Option 2 is that we go from the airport to Colombo and take the highway to the south. They took many years to rebuild this highway, but since the beginning of 2012 this national highway is completely finished.
However, the difference between option 1 and option 2 is a few hours!

Of course, people who want to rent our house will be picked up from the airport and we will also arrange a 5-day tour of the beautiful island!

In 2009 we bought this house in Sri Lanka because we already have a very long relationship with this amazing country. We have two children adopted from Sri Lanka and we support over 25 years children in the interior of Sri Lanka.
The house is in a nice location on the south west coast so you (almost) always the sea can. We like it when other people are excited about this country and in this way we can also help the locals a bit financially.

Additional information

From Talpe you can make nice trips like going to the beach but for those who want to see more culture here can easily visit the cities of VOC Galle and Matara.
In the old town of Galle, you can enjoy walking around the ramparts, but also fun bekijen old shops and strolling through the streets with names such as the Dutch Leynbaan or take a look at the Dutch Reformed Church.
You can be in the vicinity of the house go snorkeling, diving or swimming in the Indian Ocean and for those who first wants to look at what's on the bottom of the ocean all to see, there are special gles bottom boats that take you for a nice trip at sea!
How about visiting a real snake farm or a turtle farm.
What you would expect are not as fast as the tea and herb gardens, but also in this region have very good tea!
The house is a short distance from the train station of Talpe, trains depart from here to both Galle and Matara.
In the house are also bicycles available so you can make a fun trip with the bike and the good thing is that this part of Sri Lanka is not too hilly.
  
The VOC town of Matara, the real Dutch ramparts and is very fun to visit once.
In the vicinity of the house there is a beautiful herb garden. You can buy herbs here but also getting a massage is possible
In the vicinity of the house there is a beautiful turtle farm where schildpaaden eggs come from and where later the turtles are released back into the sea.
It's a fun experience to go on the lake Kogalle with a catamaran boat. You can then go to an island where you can visit the temple.
